[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] On Tuesday the 15th, temperatures will drop, bringing rain or snow to various parts of the country.

Rain or snow is forecast until dawn in northern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, inland Chungcheong, eastern inland Jeolla, western inland Gyeongsang, and Jeju. From morning, snow flurries are expected along the western coast of Jeolla, and from night, snow will fall in Chungnam, western Jeolla, and the mountainous areas of Jeju.

Expected snowfall amounts are 2?7 cm in inland and mountainous Gangwon, western Jeolla, and mountainous Jeju; 1?3 cm in northern Gyeonggi, northern Chungnam, southern Chungnam’s west coast, central and southern Chungbuk, eastern Jeonbuk, eastern inland Jeonnam, and Jeju (excluding mountainous areas). Fine dust levels are forecast to be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' across all regions.

Morning low temperatures will range from -10 to 1 degrees Celsius nationwide, with Seoul at -7°C, Daejeon at -4°C, Gwangju at -1°C, and Daegu at -2°C. Daytime highs are expected between -3 and 6 degrees Celsius, with Seoul at -1°C, Daejeon at 1°C, and Gwangju at 2°C.

With temperatures dropping sharply, there is a high possibility of icy roads or black ice in areas experiencing rain or snow, so special caution is required for traffic safety. The atmosphere is very dry, especially in eastern Jeonnam where a dry weather advisory is in effect, so attention to fire hazards such as wildfires is necessary. Strong winds are expected mainly along the coastal areas nationwide, Jeju, and mountainous Gangwon, so care should be taken in managing facilities and preventing accidents.

Sea waves will be 1.0?2.5 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 1.0?2.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5?2.0 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 1.5?4.0 meters in the East Sea, 1.5?3.5 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0?3.5 meters in the South Sea.
